And to Greece we go! Jack and Annie, two close siblings, take off on yet another adventure of mischief and history. Did you know that the first Olympics were held in Greece?? To think, that so many sports and whatnot today all originated from an old competition held so many years ago... I really liked how light was shone on the contribution of women back then that didn't receive recognition because of sexism. It is amazing to see how far we have come along, and how far we still can go. These are valuable lessons for children today.
